The Centre runs two interlinked MAs, and an MPhil / PhD, all of which are administered through the Centre for the Multidisciplinary and Intercultural Inquiry (CMII).

MA Health Humanities

Health humanities seeks novel ways of understanding health and illness in society, and how methods from the humanities and social studies may be brought to bear on biomedicine, clinical practice, and the politics of healthcare.
